THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION: WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH

Tsk tsk bow your head in shame Zappa, this album is undeniably mediocre. Random leftovers from the original Mothers of Invention period, mostly jazzy nonsense, sadly this does not a good album make. The tracks are the usual Mothers lunacy only not as entertaining as their previous output, in fact here they are all to often just annoying. Zappa has the audacity to end the album with two minutes of feedback, of course that's typical for him, but his prior albums with the Mothers were mostly great and pretty essential for anyone mildly interested in Zappa's music, but since this album is mostly for hardcore fans the final track feels like a kick in the groin. The album isn't all bad though, 'My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama', 'Oh No' and 'The Orange County Lumber Truck' are mildly entertaining.
